Looks good brother. "thumbsup" I would think that set up would do well at the Bone Yard. Are you back in town?

The BY is fine. It just depends on the weather. There might be thunder storms all weekend.

Yeah, back in overpopulated Hampton Roads. I wish I would've been able to grab the Honcho to Newfoundland. I kept seeing bad ass places for wheeling. Now that I found enough RC things in the storage unit to go for a run this weekend, I need to max the day out before subtle brain washing begins on Monday :roll:

The Bone Yard claimed more victims today. Esc, drive shafts, links, motor. Hell of a day boys.

If y'all ever feel like making a trip, there is a place down here called fun junktion in e city. It's a trash dump tht was converted to a dump. They have a bunch of man made ponds and places to grill, and a big playground for kids. Best part is the big ok rock piles and trail areas. Should be lots of fun. I'm selling my blazer to randy at Hobbytown to fund my yota truggy. Should be a fun build and I should be out to play soon!

Motor fell victim to the mud pit. I'll see what's up later this week.
Here's something that I didn't know about hitec servos.
Worn 5645 next to a brutally abused and seized 645.
Now I understand why I kept stripping the white plastic gears.
In the end the life of a hitec 5/645 servos depend on that brass gear :roll:
Some pics from sun btw

Miko did I read right that you put new foams in the iroks? How'd they do?

I gotta say Bo, I didn't think the closed cell inners would be nearly as beneficial in the IROKs as they were in the Pitbulls. The honcho gained a half a pound in each axle, bringing total weight up to over 9 lbs. The stock foams would've folded under the lip of the wheel, forcing it to cut into the sidewall. CI inners prevented that from happening. On slopes they didnt compress as much under lateral load and kept the COG more leveled compared to a folded under sidewall. Medium outers in all fours gave it a nice bulge (no homo) and slightly added thickness (no homo) while maintaining similar height. Grooves cleared easier, thread didnt collapse at contact patch. Foams are superior compared to stock, although may not make nearly as much of a difference on a lighter vehicle.
